Chapter 1: The Desert Island Awakens

The waves kept crashing against me, washing away the sand that stuck to my skin, leaving more sand on my body as the tide receded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of you is the sea that connects to the skyline, and it is surrounded by a large sandy beach. However, due to the fact that I have been exposed to direct sunlight for too long, my eyes are all blue at this time. It's impossible to tell the color of the beach at all.

Confused, completely confused. I had no idea how I got to this place. The latest memory in my mind is that one night I was lying on my desk to finish my graduation thesis. And the pajamas I was wearing at this time happened to be able to reflect my memory.

There is the sea here. That is, I should be in the coastal zone. But I had to go to school deep inland. Not to mention the sea, there is a stinky ditch at the door, and I can't wait to call the school Riverside Garden.

I'm not in school anymore. So where is that?

When I got up and looked, I realized that my body was not damaged. Except for lying on his back on the beach and being exposed to the sun for a long time, his eyesight is a little problematic, and the rest of the state is almost the same as when he just got up.

The eyes have been washed by the sea for a long time, and the sun has been shining so all the time, fine salt particles soon formed on the eyelids, and a sour feeling immediately spread to the brain. I raised my hand to knead it, but I found that there were salt grains on my hands and even all over my body.

Half-squinting and holding back the astringency, I finally rushed to the bottom of the trees on the shore when I could barely open my eyes. I tore a few leaves to wipe the fine salt off my eyes, and carefully used my fingernails to slowly pull off the rest of the salt grains, so that my glasses could barely open.

After a pause, the pale blue in my field of vision began to slowly fade. Once again, my world is full of colorful colors.

The wet clothes on the body were particularly uncomfortable against the skin, so I took off the clothes easily, leaving only a pair of bottoms to block the key parts.

I feel much better after taking off my clothes and pants. I began to look around me.

First of all, it's definitely not in the school, or even in the province where the school is located. Secondly, it looks like no one has ever been to this place. Because the coastline in front of you is so chaotic. This kind of mess is not the kind of messy mess. It's a kind of mess that no one takes care of in a natural situation. The beach is not a fine sea sand, mixed with countless gravel. This is not possible with artificial beaches. And then there's the forest behind me.

As far as I know, there is probably no beach that has ever been forested so close to the sea.

This is really the forest, and there is not a trace of man-made. Looking inside from the outside, the light gets darker the further inside, and the various vines are intricately intertwined, and it is impossible to leave.

"Is there anyone?" I couldn't help but scream, and I was taken aback. When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was my own name, and I was relieved. After thinking about it, he shouted a few more times. But no one seemed to respond to me, except for the startled birds in the forest.

This must be a prank. I came to a conclusion. Because I can't think of anything else that would make me here. And this prank must have been carefully planned. I was sent to the beach from a school in the hinterland, and I didn't feel anything.

I'm down. Medicine.

That was my first reaction. In addition to being fascinated, no matter how dead a person sleeps, his body will definitely feel the movement of the outside world. Besides, if it weren't for being down. The medicine was so addicted that it would take five or six hours to fly from the school to the nearest coastal area. It's impossible for me not to feel during this time.

"Who-! Get out of here! "I started to get a little annoyed when I realized that. And one of the most important reasons for this anger is that Lao Tzu's paper will be submitted in two days. This was followed by a defence. Whether you can graduate from college in four years depends on this fate. At this time, give me such a play, and sincerely don't want me to graduate?

A few more screams. But this time, even the birds in the forest didn't bother me.

Looking left and right along the coastline, I suddenly realized that the coastline as far as I could see was the same place I was in now. In other words, the coastline has not been explored.

No one. That's not going to be easy. Now that the sun is in the sky, it happens to be the time of day when the sun shines at its strongest. Exposed to the sun, it wouldn't be long before I went into shock from dehydration. This is where water conservation is paramount.

But the problem is that there is only a vast ocean in front of me. The concentration of various substances in the composition of seawater is too high, and it is not suitable for replenishing water at all. Drinking a lot of seawater will outweigh the benefits in case it causes cardiopulmonary failure.

If you want to find fresh water, you can only go to the forest behind you. But this forest doesn't look much different from the primeval forest, is it really safe inside? In case there is any more beast in it, I'm defenseless—

Knife.

There was a knife stuck in the ground in the place where I woke up.

Braving the scorching sun, I returned to the place where I had woken up and pulled the knife out of the sand.

This is a diving knife. The side of the knife is marked with the inscription No.440. It should be forged with No.440 stainless steel. There is a striking block at the bottom of the Diving Knife, which can be used to easily smash through shellfish creatures.

Diving knives, good stuff. This thing is a self-defense device that professional frogmen are equipped with when working underwater. Both the sharpness and the hardness of the material are quite good. With this knife, I have at least one more weapon for self-defense now. Whether it's the beasts of the forest, or the people who brought me here in a prank. I'm ready to give it a shot now.

After a few moments of being naked in the sun, I felt a burn on my shoulder. So he immediately went back to the bottom of the tree.

What now? Now that you have something to defend yourself, do you want to go into the forest now? I looked inside again, and my heart was still a little empty.

Forget it, this forest stretches along the coastline, so let's walk along the edge first. What if you meet someone? It's better than jumping in without knowing anything about the forest.

After making up his mind, he picked up the clothes that had been thrown on the ground and shook them, shaking off the salt grains on them. Then I took it in my hand and started walking along the coastline.

Now there are two purposes.

First, see if you can meet people. As long as you meet someone, everything is easy to say.

Second, if I don't meet people, I can get a general idea of the coastline. By the way, you can also find fresh water or something.

Fresh water is the most important thing. The extreme survival time of an average person in the absence of food is a little more than a week. But there is a shortage of water, especially in such extremely hot conditions. I don't think it will last a day.

And this inference turned out to be correct. Even though I'm walking in the shade of a tree now, the temperature outside is still baking my body. The body is depleting water at more than three times the usual rate.

Less than an hour further on, my lips began to dry out. This is a red flag. This meant that I had to find fresh water as soon as possible and rehydrate in a timely manner. Otherwise, at the current rate of consumption, in another three to four hours, my body will start to absorb the excess water from the urine in the bladder. From that point on, my body would start to go into a state of weakness. If I can't find anything to rehydrate, as long as the sun doesn't go down, I'll collapse because of the rapid loss of water.

Death is not far off. And at the height of the sun now, there are still at least six hours before the night comes. And even if it comes at night, if I can't find anyone and can't be rescued, it means I need to camp here.

Camping on the edge of a primeval forest where you don't know what is inside, Buddha blesses the large creatures inside that it is best to be vegetarian.

Happily, after walking for almost two hours, I found a coconut tree not far ahead.

The coconut palm is the symbol of almost all beaches. And the coconut on the tree, by far seems to be the best item to replenish water in addition to fresh water. The juice inside coconut is rich in electrolytes. A juicy coconut has about two glasses of water, containing two tablespoons of sugar, as well as protein, fat, vitamin C, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium, and sodium. For me now, it is undoubtedly the biggest savior.

"Why the fuck are you so tall." I stood under the tree and looked up at the coconut hanging high above it, overjoyed and angry.

Picking coconuts also requires skill. People in coastal areas sometimes use a knife with a curved edge. The knife is pressed on the coconut, and then the coconut is cut off with a single pull. You can also unscrew it by hand. It's just that it takes more time and the physical exertion is relatively large. Some people say that throwing a stone or kicking a tree with their foot can shake them down. I don't comment on this. Unless you can kick the whole tree off, or the coconuts that fall are the ones that are very old and almost have no water. Those don't do anything for me.

After standing under the tree and resting for a while, I started to climb up with a knife in my hand.

Climbing coconut trees is also a technique. This requires a very coordinated combination of hands and feet. And the body needs to maintain a vertical angle with the trunk as much as possible, kick your feet outward, wrap your hands around the trunk to fix your body, and rub it up little by little.

Just climbing the tree has already taken me almost half an hour. And the physical strength consumed is almost the sum of the two hours of walking just now.

Happily, though, I can now reach out and touch the green coconuts on the top of the tree. This means that in a maximum of half an hour, I will be able to drink sweet coconut water.
